I’ll throw my mpg hat into the ring. Nothing like yours. Drive from Manchester to Suffolk. Car was packed to the rafters too so very pleased. 500 mile range too!

Some of those random ad links after postimage photos don’t half make me smile.

Good effort on the MPG btw, not bad in an R

Yeah! Every time I post I always think is there a way of stopping this? Bizarre.

A fair old history you have! VR6 sounded so good, my mate fitted an induction kit to his and the noise was unbelievable. Always wanted a G40 Polo, my first car was a J Reg Polo Coupe, unfortunately in a horrible green with a 1.0 engine and less than 50bhp! Adding some15" Corrado wheels didn't help the acceleration  :grin:

That barely scratches the surface of my car history!

What size tyres did you run to squeeze 15” wheels on a Polo of that generation?  :grin:

I had Calypso Green Polo GT of the same age which I ran as a second car for years. I bought it off a mate for £600, his wife had owned it from new. No mods on that car though.
Ok, I put a Momo steering wheel in it but other than that...

Exon is such a VW fanboy! Great history  :cool:
No pictures included though  :whistle:

My car history could have a forum of its own!

Pics? Nah, I learnt from the best!  :tongue:  :grin:

Haha too much history! Sounds like you need to bring a book out!

I ran 195/50's to start with and had a load of rubbing, got the arches rolled and still had issues. Bit the bullet (I was 18/19 and didn't have loads of cash!) and got some 195/45's and this solves all the problems! Really liked the Coupe shape and would have loved a GT or G40.
